Sage: Healing, Out with the badThere are two major genii and several varieties of each genus of Sage that are used for smudging. Salvia, or the herb sage used for cooking, comes in two major varieties: S. Officinalis, commonly known as Garden Sage, and S. Apiana, commonly known as White Sage. Salvia varieties have long been acknowledged as healing herbs, reflected in the fact that its genus name comes from the Latin root word "salvare", which is the verb "to heal" or "to save."

Cedar: Purifying, In with the goodTrue cedar is of the Thuja and Libocedrus genii. Cedar is burnt while praying to the Great Spirit (Usen', the Source--also known to Plains nations as Wakan Tanka) in meditation, and also to bless a house before moving in as is the tradition in the Northwest and Western Canada. It works both as a purifier and as a way to attract good energy in your direction, it cleanses and chases away life-negative energies and beings.

Sweetgrass: Blessing, Goodness and WarmthSweetgrass is very important to the Sioux and Cherokee nations, its botanical name is Hierochloe Oderata. Used for general blessing--for making a home a warm, inviting place. In these tribes, the sweetgrass is braided like hair. Sweetgrass is burnt after smudging with sage, to welcome in good influences after the bad had been driven out. Cedar can also be safely be used this way. Also Pinon pine needles (used more frequently by the Southwest Teneh, like the Navajo and Apache as well as the Pueblo people and the Zuni) and Copal (used by the Yaqui and in ancient times by the Azteca and the Maya) have similar effects.

Other Ritual or Ceremonial HerbsSagebrush (artemesia) is for calling up spirit (empowering) or calling in spirits.Mugwort stimulates psychic awareness and acts a strong cleanser of negative energies.Lavender restores balance, and creates a peaceful atmosphere and attracts loving energy.Resource - spiritdiscovery.com~Citrine~

Mercury Retrograde in CancerMercury goes retrograde at 24* Cancer June 26–July 20A lot of people ask, “What is Mercury Retrograde?”:This happens three to four times per year, when the planet Mercury slows down, and appears to stop (station) and move backward (retrograde). It's an optical illusion, since there is forward movement, like speeding by a slow-moving train -- as it recedes, it appears to go backward.When Mercury is retrograde, remain flexible, allow time for extra travel, and avoid signing contracts. Review projects and plans at these times, but wait until Mercury is direct again to make any final decisions.Some people find that their computers go on the fritz or phone lines go down. If you're at all jittery about it, go ahead and back up your important files.There can be delays, so give yourself plenty of time to get places. What happens in those down times? Mercury retro is known to be a time of 'fated' events -- who will you meet? What will be revealed? Consider it a time-out to catch up & reflect. The Mercury retrograde is a time for review, when the underlying patterns come to light.With Mercury retrograde in Cancer, our emotions are suddenly front and center. Watch out for miscommunications which turn into hurt feelings. It's time to express what you're feeling, but try not get caught up in your own or other people's dramas. Cancer will turn the mind toward things like family, home and the invisible emotional bonds that connect us.Also when in Cancer: Expect annoyances at home with baking, gardening, and household duties under domesticated Cancer. Complete repair projects that weren't finished or done correctly.Multiple planets (Mercury, Venus, Moon, Sun, Jupiter and later Mars) having been moving through Cancer since June, each making up the third leg of a grand water trine along with Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces. While trines (having a planet in each of the three same elemental signs) offer us gifts and talents, because of the closed nature of a trine, they can sometimes be hard to access. But this grand trine feels different, especially because it flows with so many planets moving through the dance. And with a water trine, our boundaries are also fluid, making us more "psychic' and open to each other. This healing trine brings us wisdom and greater consciousness. Stay open so your dreams and feelings can guide you in reshaping your life.Find new ways to communicate how you're feeling rather than being taken over by your emotions. You might find yourself being cranky… It's time to learn how to listen to the emotions behind the words. Sometimes we're saying one thing but really want to say another. So have patience. With cosmic blessings flowing now, give people a break and try not to project the worst onto what they're saying.Why would the Universe give us Mercury retrograde? Because to move forward it is sometimes necessary to backtrack and reconfigure our paths in life. It is important to reconsider, repair, reflect, and reconnect. Mercury forces us to slow down and fix what's broken, and in so doing, rethink things. It also gives us time to get to projects we have put on the back-burner.A little history ~Mercury comes from the Latin word merx, or mercator, which means merchant. Mercury is the name given by the ancient Romans to the Greek mythological god Hermes.Mercury is depicted as a male figure having winged sandals and a winged hat, indicating the ability to travel quickly. He was the official messenger of the ancient gods and goddesses and, as such, governed communications.In 1782, Mercury became the first symbol of the United States' postal service. Today, he is the Icon of an International floral delivery service.In astrology, Mercury influences travel, literature, poetry, merchants, and thieves. He is cunning and witty at a moment's notice. But he is also recognized as a trickster and prone to misbehavior.This year, all the retrogrades are in water signs. This foretells times of tracing emotional memories to the roots and picking up lost threads of meaning. The emotional dimension is recovered, with the wisdom that goes with it. A lost idea or person can return, especially someone has a mysterious pull on the soul or psyche.• February 23–March 17 in mystical Pisces• June 26 to July 20 in responsive Cancer• October 21 to November 10 in super psychic ScorpioWhen Mercury starts turning in an apparent backward motion, we will start to feel the effects of this event days or even as far as two weeks earlier. When the planet normalizes we will see the tempo of events pick up in our lives as the planet becomes "stationary" and then speeds forward.Just observe and see what happens, and be open to the past returning for review. If it's coming back, there's likely something more to learn or release from it. This can be a good (and productive) time, in its own way.By ~Citrine~Resources:astrologyzone.comwisdom-of-astrology.comalmanac.comastrology.about.com

So I've found tons of info on catmint & catnip & it says its the same... but why does it look different???

I've kept all the random info I found on here cuz most of it was worded differently - even tho some was the same.. the best I will put on the next post by my pen name - Citrine...

Catmint (aka catnip) grows almost everywhere. The leaves resemble those of garden mint and it has small white flowers. If you love your cat, you should plant some for his sake, because cats love it.

Catnip is bound to Venus and Water. In magic, it is thought to be related to animals, love, luck, happiness, and beauty.

The Romanies always added catmint to the rinsing water after washing their hair. It was said to increase the growth and ease any irritation of the scalp.

Dose yourself with catmint tea when you feel a cold coming on, it will help perspire it out of your system. It also eases tummy pains whether they are caused by indigestion or menstruation.

Grow Catnip for your cat to create a psychic bond. Carry it with you in sachets to attract good spirits and good luck. Use larger leaves as bookmarks in magical texts to increase spell powers. Use in a sachet combined with rose petals to attract lovers. Inhale the steam from teas for beauty and happiness spells. For love, luck, happiness, and beauty, try Catnip Cookies or Candied Catnip

A tea is made from the fresh leaves in a ratio of 1:1 boiling water and herb. Add honey and sip slowly as an aid to sweating out a cold or for unwinding and insomnia. Together with a number of other herbs, it was an ingredient in a late Saxon medicinal ale prepared to expel the Devil and "all madness." Consider catmint as a protective plant around your home and for use in exorcisms and for evicting negative spirits..

Catnip or catmint (Nepeta cataria): Catmint is a good herb for cooling fever and promoting sleep. I find it works especially well if you’re the kind of person who can’t sleep well with a fever. Catnip really helps here. It’s a great herb to calm down overtired kids. It also makes a really good pesto. Simply substitute it for basil in your pesto recipe. Catmint is a little bitter as a tea, so for the kids I give them plenty of honey with it or make a glycerite with it. I’ve raised enough this year to make catmint honey with it. Dry it, make a glycerite with it or preserve it in honey. You can make an insect repellent of a tincture of catmint with 100 proof vodka.It grows well from seed or you can get a potted plant. Kitties do love it, though!

Catmint is one of the traditional cold and flu remedies. It is a useful diaphoretic helpful in any feverish condition, especially acute bronchitis. As a carminative with anti-spasmodic properties, Catmint eases any stomach upsets, dyspepsia, flatulence and colic. It is a perfect remedy for the treatment of diarrhoea in children. Its sedative action on the nerves adds to its generally relaxing properties.

It is possible to obtain a very mild intoxication when Catmint is mixed in equal parts with tobacco. The euphoria produced is reported to be significantly weaker than that of marijuana. But, it is possible that catmint's effect is produced merely as a result of enhancing the intoxicating properties of the nicotine found in the tobacco.

Research from the Iowa State University has found that the oil extracted from catnip (Nepeta cataria) containing nepetalactone has been found to be nearly 10 times more effective at repelling mosquitoes than DEET.

Furthermore, in Asia Catmint is being used in zoos for years to calm down lions and tigers.Medical use

The flowering tops are the part utilized in medicine and are harvested when the plant is in full bloom in August. Medical qualities of this plant: carminative, tonic, diaphoretic, refrigerant and slightly emmenagogue, specially antispasmodic, and mildly stimulating. It will relieve painful swellings when applied in the form of a poultice or fomentation.

The sugary and lemony scent of honeysuckle sweetens the thoughts of those who smell it, therefore triggering generosity.Since ancient times, it is said that the sweet scent of honeysuckle works to clear the mind and work to strengthen psychic powers. Some believe that crushing and placing the honeysuckle flowers next to the forehead can boost the psychic powers within the mind.

Spiderwort Magical & Medicinal PropertiesThe "wort" part of spiderwort's name indicates it has been used for medicinal purposes. "Wort-cunning" was an Old English term used for having the knowledge of plants' uses.

Magical properties~ If you’re hoping to attract greater abundance into your life, cary the dried flowers in your wallet~ To help you relax and connect with your inner beauty, float a handjul of the flowers in your bathwater~ Scatter the flowers around your home to chase away negativity and attract the blessings of love.

Medicinal properties~Spiderwort leaves held drying properties, mostly like attributed to tannin constituents, and was useful in expelling poisons~ Cherokee medicinal uses of spiderwort leaves extracted in tea-form were for nonspecific kidney, stomach and female ailments. Leaves were mashed, exposing a juicy liquid, and applied as a poultice for insect bites, a common ailment in the Southeast. Also the sap from a Spiderwort can be used as a medicinal salve on insect bites or scrapes.~ As a food, the Cherokee parboiled young leaves and slender shoots. The leaves and flowers can be eaten raw in a salad. The stems can be cooked, I recommend pan frying with a little butter, garlic and salt and top off with some flowers and buds at the end for color.

A member of the dayflower family (Commelinaceae), spiderwort blooms last only a day, blooming in mid-morning and withering to mush in late afternoon. At the end of each stalk is a terminal cluster of buds, opening only a couple at a time, spreading out spiderwort's enjoyment for a week or two.

Oh, I have been beyond the townWhere nightshade black and mandrake growAnd I have heard and I have seenWhat righteous folk would fear to know!For I have heard, at still midnightUpon the hilltop far, forlornWith note that echoed through the darkThe winding of the heathen hornAnd I have seen the fire aglowAnd glinting from the magic swordAnd with the inner eye beheldThe Hornid One, the Sabbat's lordWe drank the wine, and broke the breadAnd ate it in the Old One's nameWe linked our hands to make the ringAnd laughed and leaped the Sabbat gameOh, little do the townsfolk reckWhen dull they lie within their bed!Beyond the streets, beneath the starsA merry round the witches tread!And round and round the circle spunUntil the gates swung wide ajarThat bar the boundaries of earthFrom faery realms that shine afarOh, I have been and I have seenIn magic worlds of OtherwhereFor all this world may praise or blameFor ban or blessing naught I careFor I have been beyond the townWhere meadowsweet and roses growAnd there such music did I hearAs worldly-righteous never know~Citrine~

Magickal uses: Inhaling the scent of the dried fruits while sitting quietly can awaken your psychic abilities, allowing your subconscious to unlock its secrets. The Star Anise was made for incense with its pungent scent, especially incense used for meditation. The herb can also be used in luck spells especially in the form of a sachet; just add some of the strong smelling seeds/fruits in an orange sachet with the correct enchantments to unlock its luck attracting abilities (Your need and intent should be the enchantment let that energy flow into the star anise then carry them with you in the sachet.)

Medicinal uses: The fruits and foliage yield essential oil for medicinally promote appetite and digestion and to relieve chest complaints, rheumatism, and flatulence. Japanese Star Anise (Illicium anisatum) has cardamom-scented, poisonous fruits, used externally in Asian medicine. Its flower lacks scent and the leaves are a poison.

Folklore: The seed and pods are used as a spice in Asian cookery, notably as an ingredient of Chinese five-spice powder. The Japanese Star Anise is revered in Japan and planted near Buddhist temples, where the bark is burned as incense.http://paganpages.org/

2 parts Sandalwood1 part Mugwort1 part Chamomile1 part Gardenia Petalsa few drops Rose Oila few drops Lavender Oila few drops Yarrow OilBurn at Wiccan rituals at the Summer Solstice (circa June 21st) or at that time to attune with the seasons and the Sun.

(Both of the above recipes for "Midsummer Incense #1 and #2" are quoted directly from Scott Cunningham's book "The Complete Book of Incenses, Oils & Brews", page 80, Llewellyn Publications, 1989/1992.)

Midsummer Spells : Glorify your Life(Or Midwinter Spells : Start Anew)You can combine the powers of Midsummer with the powers of the Moon, the upcoming Full Moon!What you’ll be needing:* A White or Zodiac candle (click here to pick your appropriate Color!) to represent you* A White candle (or a second white candle if you are using white for yourself)* A Green candle* A Red or Pink candle* A Gold candle (or a second green candle)* A Yellow candle* Your altar candles (number and type varies according to your path, in the picture there are two as I use two white altar candle, but do as you usually do).* Your ritual knife or a pin* Your zodiac oil (optional)* Frankincense essential oil or Sun magic oil (for Midsummer) or Myrrh essential oil or the Rosarium blends’ Phoenix oil, or Yule oil (for Midwinter)* Dragon’s Blood ink or black Indian/China ink or charcoal pencil* A sheet of rice paper or white cardboard (rice paper has more power, cardboard is easier to be used)* Six identical candleholders* Incense (the same as the oil you are using)* An incense burner and charcoal disks.

Hand draw (I know it will not be absolutely perfect but it will work better) the symbol shown in the picture using the pencil or either ink. I would suggest Dragon’s Blood ink for Midsummer and the carbon based ones for the Midwinter.Now the symbol is a pentagram inside a Sun symbol, and not a circle, a pentagram and a dot, so first draw the Sun symbol and then the pentagram.

Prepare the altar as shown. Put the five candle holders on the five points of the star, and the sixth on the dot of the Sun symbol. Then place the zodiac, or white candle in its holder and the rest of the candles as so: 1. White, 2. Green, 3. Red or Pink (it is for love, so chose the quality you want), 4. Gold, 5. Yellow.

Take a shower. Go to the room wearing either nothing at all or some clean clothes representing the kind of life you want to live. Not your ceremonial clothes.

Now, anoint the altar candles as you usually do (or anoint them with the oil if you don’t have a constant pattern). Light the Altar candles and the incense. Take some deep breaths as the incense smoke is preparing the atmosphere.Invoke the Solar and / or rebirthing Gods/Spirits of your choice.Now, take your Zodiac candle and anoint it inscribe with your knife or with the pin your name and birthday. Then anoint it with your zodiac oil, if you have chosen to use one or with the other oil you are going to use. To anoint your zodiac candle (and all the others, and even the altar candles, if you have not another pattern that you usually anoint your altar candles) hand the candle with its wick towards you and anoint the candle from its middle to the wick towards you, and then reverse the position of the candle and anoint it from the middle to the bottom towards you.

Put your zodiac candle in its holder and using fire from the altar candles light it saying:

“This is me, (your name).My spirit always burns as surely and brilliant as this flame does.”

Now pick the white candle and inscribe “WISDOM” on it. Anoint it with the oil (not the zodiac) as described before and put it on its holder. Light the candle saying:

“Here lights true Wisdom”.

Let your hand touching the base of the holder, and feel what the meaning of true wisdom is. When you are ready, slowly move the holder in a straight line, until it reaches your candle, saying:

“Now Wisdom moves in to become a part of me.Let it become one with me,so that I will always be wise and well guided”.

Now, pick the Green candle and inscribe “HEALTH” on it. Anoint it with the oil as described and put it on its holder. Light the candle saying:

“Here lights perfect Health”.

Let your hand touching the base of the holder, and feel the energy and meaning of perfect health. When you are ready, slowly move the holder in a straight line, until it reaches your candle, saying:

“Now Perfect Health moves in to become a part of me.Let it become one with me,so that I will always enjoy perfect health”.

The same way prepare the Red or Pink candle inscribing “LOVE” on it. Light it saying:

“Here lights Love”.Touching the base of the holder, make clear to yourself how love should express itself to your life, being it with friendship, partnership, sexual encounters, romantic relationships and so, and so. When you are ready slowly move the holder in a straight line, until it reaches your candle, saying:

“Now Love moves in to become a part of me.Let it become one with me,so that I will always love and be beloved”.

Follow the same procedure inscribe “WEALTH” on the golden candle, and light it saying:

“Here lights Wealth and abundance”.

Same as before realize what you are summoning and while moving the candle say:

“Now Wealth and Abundance move in to become a part of me.Let them become one with me,so that I will always enjoy much wealth and abundance”.

Same procedure goes for the Yellow candle. The inscription is “CONFIDENCE” and lighting it you say:

“Here lights Confidence”You feel the meaning of having confidence to yourself and to the ways of life and while moving the candle toward yours say:

“Now Confidence moves in to become a part of me.Let it become one with me,so that I always have confidence to myself,and know that all is and always be good”.

Now take the censer and cense the candle making clockwise circle and keep repeating:

“Now my life is what I want. All is good. All is good.”Brought from magicalrecipesonline.com~Citrine~

Honey is generally associated with youth, fertility, health, and prosperity. It is the essence of abundance and adds a magical touch to many dishes

Some of the magical Healing properties of honey that have been verified by the medical community include: quicker healing when dressing wounds, ingesting to shed water weight, clear lymph nodes and balance the lymph fluids, dry out the sinuses and increase circulation, aid the healing of ulcers, reducing stomach and upper gi tract complaints, sooth the throat, and reduce allergies. For help with allergies use only local honey, the closer the better.~Citrine~
